First of all, read the first line of my post.  I unashamedly 
admit my newbie-hood and beg tolerance from any Linux gurus 
who may deign to answer my plea (sarcasm).
Not mentioned in my post is that the hubs I subscribe to 
require either DC++ or Strong DC.  I didn't feel the need to 
mention that.  My question is about a specific program.  Doing 
a search on DC++ does yield links to at least two other Linux 
natives.
Second.  The more information, even if not germane, the 
better.  Different Win versions = different dlls as far as I 
know.
Third. Whatever.  Mine installed itself as "drive_c".  DLLs 
went into its sub-directory of system32.
Finally.  Yes. Outdated.  Please point me to a current How-to 
that addresses my problem. I believe bugzilla had a mention of 
my window behavorial problem and mentioned three different 
graphics mode..which I didn't know of..and I'll have to look 
into it this weekend..  
Thats why I am forced to actually use a news group to ask a 
question to display my ignorance and ineptitude in front of 
the entire world instead of just doing a search and getting 
all of my answers the easy way...  ;)...m
